Yield:
30 fritters

Ingredients

2 c. fresh corn kernels

0.50 red bell pepper

0.25 c. chopped fresh cilantro

2 green onions

2 clove garlic

1 jalapeño

Zest and juice of 1 lime

1 tsp. kosher salt

0.50 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1 large egg

4 tbsp. rice flour

4 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1.25 c. olive oil

4 limes

Pepper jelly (optional)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Mix in egg; then mix in flours until thoroughly combined.

In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Working in batches of 3 to 4 fritters at a time, drop 1 tablespoon batter per fritter into the oil and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute each side. Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately with remaining lime wedges and, if you like, store-bought pepper jelly.
